[QUOTE="Unofficial Gun Addict (UGA), post: 974734, member: 81139"] It seems that there are 2 major camps with respect to cleaning guns, both fairly effective when it comes to accuracy. The first are the type A gun owners, who clean their weapons religiously, and thoroughly attempt to remove vile copper from the barrel and any form of carbon fouling. The other camp believes in only clearing out the copper once accuracy becomes degraded, which entails far less cleaning and far less use of solvent... These are your type B gun owners. I used to be in camp A but have since moved over to camp B. (the trees are nicer at camp B and I have more time to enjoy them because I'm not spending all my time cleaning guns). I haven't noticed any discernible degradation with respect to accuracy either way. I think that you just have to be consistent with whatever approach you choose. If you keep moving back and forth between camp A and B, you will probably find that your bullets end up moving around more too. Just saying. I now prefer the copper equilibrium approach... But choose the method that works best for your personality type. [/QUOTE]
